I keep tomatoes free of side stems below the first fruit cluster. Determinate tomatoes need no pruning other than removing all suckers below the first flower cluster, because pruning won't affect their fruit size or plant vigor.

The basic premise, as you see in this image, is to be able to grow food in urban areas by creating tall buildings where, instead of each floor having offices, each floor is in essence its own super greenhouse, where different crops can be grown to feed people within its own community. The idea is to not only be able to feed the community, but to protect the land that’s being damaged by over-farming and making sure that there will still be enough food for an ever growing population. credit Of course, not all designs would be the same, but this model of a design for the city of Seattle helps us to see how it would work.

Thinking of vertical farm in terms of super stores fits a model like this one, where the ground floor has everything a traditional supermarket would have, Guerrilla Gardening. Greenfingers.com.
